AUTHOR Stirrett, Scott
PUBLISHER Dundurn Press (09/16/2025)
PRODUCT TYPE Paperback (Paperback)

Description
Turn volatility into your competitive edge with research-backed strategies to thrive in AI-driven, fast-changing careers.

You were told to follow a plan -- pick the right major, land the right job, and climb the ladder. But the world doesn't work that way anymore -- if it ever did. AI is upending industries, career paths are unpredictable, and instability is the only certainty. The old playbook is obsolete. The good news? Uncertainty isn't a problem -- it's your greatest advantage.

In The Uncertainty Advantage, you'll learn how to:
  • Stop overthinking and make smarter career decisions faster using research-backed tools.
  • Land better jobs with unconventional strategies that help you stand out from the crowd.
  • Bounce back from setbacks using science-backed techniques for resilience and antifragility.
  • Future-proof your career by mastering human skills AI can't replace, like storytelling, judgment, and influence.

Scott Stirrett challenges the myths that hold young professionals back. Drawing from research, real-world examples, and lessons from helping over ten thousand emerging leaders, Stirrett reveals why instability isn't something to fear -- it's an opportunity to grow, adapt, and get ahead.

This isn't just another career guide -- it's a blueprint for navigating an unpredictable world with confidence. You'll learn how to develop antifragility -- the ability to thrive through uncertainty -- while making bold career moves, building meaningful relationships, and thinking entrepreneurially in any field. And just as important, you'll discover why self-compassion is the hidden superpower of resilient people, helping you overcome self-doubt, silence the inner critic, and turn setbacks into fuel for growth.

Packed with practical tools, research-backed insights, and hard-won wisdom, The Uncertainty Advantage is your roadmap to not just surviving change but using it to build a career and life on your own terms.
